Celestron Granite ED 8x42

The 8x42 Granite ED combines features like fully multi-coated optics, ED lenses and very highly reflective mirror coatings on BaK-4 prisms with a good sized 5.25mm exit-pupil to ensure that you get bright, high-quality views even when light conditions are far from optimal.
If you combine these attributes along with their extremely wide field of view, then you have an excellent general use, wildlife and an especially good bird watching binocular that is optimised to perform in locations like thick wooded areas when at medium to close ranges. This is because the wide view makes it easier to quickly locate things like small birds in the view and then be able to follow it with ease as it moves about the canopy above.
The multi-position twist-up eyecups along with an ample amount of eye relief make this binocular a good choice for eyeglass wearers.
At approximately 2 meters, the minimum close focus distance also makes this model a good choice for those who enjoy detailed views of butterflies, dragonflies, other insects, flowers or even birds on a nearby feeder.

Description of Celestron Granite ED Binoculars

The pinnacle of Celestron binoculars is definitely Granite ED series. These binoculars received The Cornell Lab of Ornithology award and award for the best Binoculars of 2013 by Best Binoculars Review. They are suitable for bird watching, hunting, traveling, wildlife, nature and astronomy viewing and offer ultra-high performance, perfect even for professionals. Incredible performance is a result of an ED glass, fully multi-coatings of lenses, phase correction, with other features such as open-bridge design for comfortable handling and 100% waterproof and fog-proof construction for incredible protection and clear viewing. Granite ED also comes with a harness strap, helping you with comfortable portability.

Basic Features

Amazing Celestron Granite ED offers great ergonomic and aesthetic design. They are made out of ultra-light magnesium alloy that helps to decrease the weight and makes them incredibly light and fatigue free even when carrying them for longer periods of time. Beautiful aesthetic design and shape wrapped in black rubber armouring which is incredibly thick and able to protect them against impacts, makes them a real pleasure to use. The surface is rugged enough to prevent sudden slip out of your hands with the help of an open-bridge. This very welcomed feature allows you to safely and firmly grip the binoculars around the barrels and helps you to carry them with one hand when walking. Granite ED is also well protected with tight seals making them impervious to moisture, dust and other solid particles. You will never have to worry about exposing them to extreme weather conditions. With the help of nitrogen gas that is purged inside the construction, the clear view will never be compromised when facing sudden temperature changes, that makes the occurrence of condensation on the inner sides of the lenses.

Optical Properties

The Granite ED glass crafted in Japan, offers Extra-low dispersion ability for sharp images free of major distortion such as chromatic aberration and reflections. With the help of fully multi-coatings, these feature enhance light transmission rate, making images incredibly bright and also rich in contrast with accurate color reproduction. Superior image quality is also a result of phase coated prisms and high-grade BaK-4 prisms which offer razor sharp images even in the dim light. For focusing adjustments, the Granite ED offers smooth and quick central focusing knob, again, beautifully designed and rubberized for non-slip rotations with the help of the right-eye diopter. Granite ED eyepieces are rubberized and multi-positioned for ideal eye-relief for eyeglass wearers.
